This is my place, where I feel safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will lying if I tell I am not stressed with this COVID-19 situation. I am. I will also be lying if I tell you I am having cabin fever. I seem to be thriving (along with copious loads of stress) at home. I enjoy having my family around me, the work-from-home privilege the husband and I have, the homeschooling opportunities I have with kuttyma (who now goes by the name<a href=\"http:\/\/ourowncorner.com\/themintgirl\/\"> Mint Girl<\/a> and is on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_mint_girl\/\">Instagram<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a strange world out there and I am glad for the privileges and health my family enjoys. I count my blessings and focus on things I can control (for everything else there is twitter). One day at a time, is my oft-repeated mantra. I power through whining and complaining at times but overall wrap the day with a sense of gratitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life&#8217;s journey is interesting. It takes us to places we never dreamt about. Like this one. I am back at Poohsden, albeit for a while willing the words to make sense and help me stay sane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever your journey takes you stay safe and healthy. And if you are still around reading, drop a line and connect with me on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vinitha\/\">Twitter<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vinithacr\/\">Instagram<\/a>.
